Good encryption isn't enough if you want to send truly anonymous emails. Email providers can track your IP address and know your location, as well as view email topics and know your recipients. But what if you need to send and receive secret emails that won't reveal your identity?

Good encryption isn't enough if you want to send truly anonymous emails.


Then you'll need a reliable, anonymous email service provider that won't collect your data.

ProtonMail​

ProtonMail is one of the most popular secure email providers. It uses PGP encryption and adheres to a zero-disclosure policy. This means that no one, not even ProtonMail employees, can view your messages.

You don't have to enter any personal data to create a mailbox. You can also send self-destructing messages and adjust their lifetime. A free account will provide 500 MB of memory, which is approximately 150 messages per day. For more memory and additional features, you will need to choose a paid service.

Tutanota​

Tutanota is another great choice among online security and privacy experts. They use their own encryption standard and encrypt not only your messages, but also all incoming mail, including the subject of messages and your contact list. Tutanotaprovides end-to-end encryption between its users, but if you need to, you can also send encrypted messages to non-users. However, you will need a shared password to decrypt them.

Other ways to use anonymous email services​

1. If the email needs to be sent anonymously​

If you need to send an anonymous message but don't need to receive a response, it's best to use a one-way anonymous email platform. And there's a lot to choose from: some vendors will allow you to use a PGP key that completely hides your identity. Try AnonymouseMail, CyberAtlantis, 5ymail, or W3 Anonymous Remailer.

2. If you need to receive the email anonymously​

There are many providers for incoming mail only, but privacy experts recommend TrashMail.

This is a provider that offers free account holders up to 25 one-time emails with 16 different domains. TrashMail filters and rejects spam, so you only get the messages you want to read, while maintaining the anonymity of your real address.

You can also set the TrashMail mailbox expiration date, which can range from 1 day to a year. The mailbox will be automatically deleted when it expires.

Before choosing an anonymous email provider, please read their privacy policy. Some of them can provide you with encryption without requiring any personal information in return, but they still store your IP address. If they notice any illegal activity or spam, they can pass your data on to law enforcement agencies.

And don't do anything illegal! You'll get caught sooner or later anyway! But it always makes sense to worry about the safety of personal data.
